LAYING SMARTCORE FLOORING

SmartCore flooring is generally suitable for DIY installation, but we advise that you take the time to read the installation instructions carefully and fully prepare your room before you begin if you choose to do this job yourself. Here's how it compares to other vinyl plank flooring brands:

CONSUMER NOTICES

Customer reviews of Smartcore flooring have been overwhelmingly positive for SmartCore flooring; most customers love the look and feel of it, and most people found it relatively easy to install (but not totally straightforward). The biggest complaints have been that the SmartCore Naturals sink in more easily than other SmartCore collections - this is likely due to the presence of a veneer layer; and that in general the flooring can be scratched - perhaps the marketing does not clearly state that protective measures should be followed to minimize this risk. It's not as easy to do as it looks in the installation video on the SmartCore website, and you definitely need two people! -Ruth

“We tested samples of SmartCore Naturals and Ultra, including leaving them in water, using chemicals to clean, and using a hammer. I think because the Naturals collection is actually engineered hardwood, not just vinyl, it dents a lot easier. – Maximum

“I'm pretty happy… We installed SmartCore Naturals in our lake house.
